You could do this easily in Photoshop today, but Philippe Halsman did not - this was shot live. It took 26 tries to get it over five hours - Halsman counted to four, Dali leapt, 3 assistants threw the cats, one threw the water from a bucket and Halsman's wife held the chair. Its all done in the camera.

That shot has always amazed me, and Dali in general. I even bought a big book on him and was disappointed that image was not in it. It's the shape and consistency of the water that really gets me.

Oh, and it's better than "done in the camera".... done in the real world sans multiple exposure trickery.
